Why would a country allow it's citizens to be hired if it was? Do they not protect their citizens from being slaves?

No. I think anyone who would feel this way---doesn't appreciate the role that being involved the global economy and changing my countries life could be. Over the last 10 years developing economies have grown faster than in any period since 1965—and even faster since 2000. While the global picture is dominated by the larger

economies—Brazil, China, India, Russia, and South Africa, recently joined by the major oil

exporters—more are now doing well and fewer have suffered severe recessions, raising

average growth rates.

Economic growth is a clear marker of development, and countries that grow usually reduce poverty. But if the fruits of growth are not widely shared many poor people can be left behind even as average incomes rise. Nor does economic growth guarantee that access to water

will improve or that more children will attend school. But failing to grow almost always makes

matters worse.

In considering the recent progress of developing countries on many social, economic, and

environmental indicators, the Millennium Development Goals set one standard for all countries.

But country performance is influenced by many factors. Being able to produce capital is significant for survival.
